Manchester United Win 10th Premiership Title, Fulham Complete Great Escape

-Ryan Giggs lifts the Premiership trophy for the tenth time in his career as United celebrate their second consecutive championship.

Manchester United claimed the Premiership trophy for the tenth time in the Premier League's sixteen years of existence with a 2-0 win at Wigan on the final day. In London, Chelsea could only draw 1-1 with Bolton Wanderers, meaning the Red Devils took the title on points rather than goal difference. Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot to give United the lead before Ryan Giggs sealed United's glory with a neat finish after Wayne Rooney's sublime through-ball. United will now look to complete a unique double by winning the UEFA Champions League Final on May 21st against Chelsea at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. Elsewhere, Fulham completed a remarkable turnaround to stay in the Premier League by defeating Portsmouth 1-0 away. Danny Murphy scored a rare headed goal to keep the Cottagers in the Premier League and condemned Reading and Birmingham City to the drop, accompanying Derby County to the Championship.

Sounders Play to Goalless Draw in Home Opener

The Seattle Sounders played to a 0-0 draw with archrivals Portland Timbers in their home opener at Qwest Field on Sunday, May 11th. Before the match, the Sounders' USL-1 Championship banner for the 2007 season was unveiled, but the Sounders' finishing didn't live up to the occasion on this night. Despite controlling the run of play and carving out several dangerous openings, the Sounders were unable to score and thus obtained their second draw of the season, moving their record to 1-1-2 and placing them on 5 points for the year. The Sounders will play the remainder of their home games for this season at Starfire Sports Complex in Tukwila, starting with this Wednesday's home contest against Rochester at 7 pm.
